much quieter, more comfortable, and has the same dohc vvt 3.6l as the camaro and cts.

just gotta sell the s10 and find the right deal. Would really like this color, but they haven't started on them. probably won't till next month or two.

They look NICE! The gas mileage looks good too.

They are nice. We had a few Canyons at work and they sold quick! However the fuel mileage is about the same as a full size V8 truck. But that V6 is a really good motor. I drove a full size Sierra double cab with it and it gets up and moves.

I wish GM would come out with another compact truck with a turbo 4 banger. I love having a truck but I like the gas mileage of a car too

When I checked the mpg, I was looking at an article on the 2015.

From Chevy's website, it looks like a 2015 with the 3.6L DOHC V6 engine 4WD gets 24 mpg on the highway.

yeah I thought about holding back for the diesel, but the 3.6l will do just fine.

I mean in terms of a platform similar to an S10. I don't like having a big truck I like my little ones lol

go ahead if you wanna do timing chains every 60-80k miles. take a look at the traverse TSB's same motor as those Not the camaro. slightly different. and primarily the timing chain stuff. all different part numbers.

DemonWithin99 11-23-2014 11:30 PM

Was unaware they put that motor in anything other than the camaro/cts...?
